The film follows the eventful tale of the inhabitants of a fictional Castilian village nestling in the heart of the Basque Country called Tellería, which, after 700 years of history, wants to become part of the Basque territory. When the Basque government refuses their request to join the region, an intriguing discovery in the local shrine leads the intrepid villagers to seek annexation to one of the world’s most highly developed nations: Switzerland.

Who else but the Basques could make a local comedy about national issues in Spain? But bringing Switzerland into the mix? That was unexpected. It had potential to be funny, but sadly, the humor just didn’t land for me. It’s watchable, but it’s missing any standout moments that could make it genuinely entertaining. This film could serve as an example of how to take a great concept and somehow leave the laughs behind. A bit of a missed opportunity, really.
